Pecos Bill, which
Booklist called "a read-aloud treat for the family or classroom." Mr. Kellogg is also the author of
Chicken Little, which
Booklist said was "one of Kellogg's best efforts to datea winner every child will like," and
Aster Aardvark's Alphabet Adventures, which
Kirkus said was "an ingenious alliterative tour-de-farce, perfect accompaniment to the author's zany illustrations. Just try keeping a straight face as you read this aloud."
